I have 10" rears et47 with 265/35/18 (no spacer) and needed to tie back the e-brake cable to avoid rubbing. I can mount a 285 on the wheel, but would likely need a spacer to clear the inside strut, so to answer your question; yes, it would rub on the inside.

To the original question; I suppose you have 255/40s presently? Mounting a 265/40 is going to create a taller tire and if you mount a 265/35 on a 17" rim, you will have a shorter tire.

Stick with OEM sizing...
